# Amnesty International South Africa has accused government of causing a divide and inflaming tensions between South African citizens and fellow Africans living in the country. It cites government persisting with a broken immigration system that leaves those trying to claim asylum undocumented and in limbo. Spokesperson Shenilla Mohamed says using asylum seekers, refugees and migrants as excuses for unemployment, inequality and an overburdened public service, is wrong and dangerous. She adds violence and vigilantism will never fix these problems, but only destroy lives and deepen division.
